Same length, as before, liked how Hyoga had some scenes in this film. But I'm also being reminded of how in the Norse arc, in the original Saint Seiya anime how over powered the Norse saints were compared to the original villains in the original story. So some bad reminders, but it doesn't completely ruin the movie for me. Feels like the first two films were made as a way to introduce new fans to the series. Good enough for Saint Seiya fans, so a 3/5.

Even though it had a slow start, I think it became really memorable by the 2nd half. What's really cool is that Hideaki Anno got some cool ideas that would eventually help make Evangelion. So yeah, I think it deserves a 4/5.

Pretty short runtime, less than an hour, so not a lot of time is spent on the antagonists. But its short and sweet, and for Saint Seiya fans, so I give it a 3/5.

Claiming N2 with https://www.anime-planet.com/anime/hunter-x-hunter-phantom-rouge
There were some cool things about the movie, seeing Kurapika's backstory chapters getting adapted and seeing who replaced Hisoka's position in the Phantom Troupe. But there are issues, like Killua's personality sufferings are there but its not the character people know, not like how he is in the Chimera Ant arc. And Gon isn't fired up in a fight like he usually is during the series, you can barely see the fire. And the Phantom Troupe don't really do a lot during the movie.

The reanimated puppets and the stealing of eyes is sure giving me the Naruto vibes. Even the antagonist is making me think of Deidara.
And yet somehow this still feels watchable. I liked how they added another female character Retz to the movie. So yeah, not perfect, but I think fans can still enjoy it, so I'm giving it 3/5.
 
Claiming A2: Watch an anime based on a game with Persona 3 The Movie 1: Spring of Birth
Start Date: September 9

I am not sure how accurate this is with the game since I never personally played Persona 3, but I believe it does a good job in getting you interested in wanting to check out the game, so that's a plus.
I wonder...how many bullets does it take to blow your brains out here?
Apparently none since they're not real bullets....

My biggest condolences for Nyanko-sensei having to deal with children...

So I saw the last HxH movie, and I think I feel pretty much the same way with the last one before. The revenge concept has already been used in the original series, and while trying to develop the new characters, the old ones get heavily muted, and the main characters' actions are warped to fit the plot. Even the way the new characters are developed feel standard and lazy. And the final battle pretty much plays out like other battle shonen movies.

But I think the concept behind On power had potential, and it was cool to see Gon fighting with a fishing rod again. For fans of the series, as long as they keep their expectations low, the movie is still enjoyable. Therefore, 3/5.

They'll probably turn out to be ridiculously OP and have a harem of girls that swoon over them for no apparent reason...
I mean... uuhhh, nobody knows!
--------------------------------------------------

Alright, I need help figuring out short, minimally painful ways to fill in a few spaces on my card. Specifically:
  • an 80's anime
  • a J.C. Staff anime
  • a BL/GL anime (GL or shoujo-ai would be preferred I suppose, but as long as it's short and relatively painless I'll take what I can get...)

Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated... maybe I'll even consider letting you ask me to spend some of my reward points on your behalf :o

*Cracks knuckles*

Here I go:

80s Anime:

- Goku: Midnight Eye (In case you want some "so bad it's good" 80-ness)
- They Were Eleven (A Mystery... IN SPACE!)
- Hi no Tori: Yamato Hen (Some Tezuka goodness (I'd rec the main series but alas it doesn't fit the category))

J.C. Staff:

- Prison School :lenny:
- Nodame Cantabile (If you're in the mood for romcoms and classical music)
- Rune Soldier (What's not to love about a pervy wizard who's shit with magic but way too skilled with his fists? He clearly chose the wrong class in the character creation menu...)

BL/GL:

- Gakuen Handsome (This one is more in "LOL random" territory (after all it's a parody of your typical non-rapey BL manga) )
- Kachou no Koi (because @Starletka would kill me if I don't suggest it it's pretty funny xD)
- Doukyuusei (In case you want a serious BL)
- Kase-san and Morning Glories (A really really sweet GL. Be careful of any incoming sugar spike)
- Aoi Hana (Not as sweet as Kase-san but still really good. You're doing yourself a disservice missing this one)
- Bloom Into You (A bit inferior to the other two but still a good watch)

I also second Inu's Song of Wind and Trees rec

Kimi no Hikari: Asagao to Kase-san. --> the only shoujo-ai I've watched and liked. Sadly it doesn't qualify as acceptable for this season but you might enjoy it anyways.

The Kase-san OVA qualifies though
